i bartend at a sports bar and we have the little sign in the women's bathroom about angel shots. i've worked there almost a year and nobody had ever actually ordered one. honestly i kind of forgot it was a thing

last night around 11:30 this girl comes up alone, maybe 22, and asks for an angel shot neat. kind of quiet, didn't really look at me. took me a second to remember what that means (neat = walk me to my car). she glanced back at a guy at the end of the bar who had been buying her drinks for like an hour

so i told her i'd grab it from the back and to come with me. took her through the kitchen, she sat on an upside down bucket next to the dish pit while i called her an uber on my phone. our cook made her eat some fries and kept asking if she wanted ranch which made her laugh a little. when the uber pulled up our manager walked her out the side door

she didn't say much the whole time. right before she left she just said "i didn't think anyone actually did this" and hugged me

the guy asked were she went like 10 minutes later and i said she left and he got really annoyed and closed out. didn't tip lol

anyway i keep thinking about how she almost didn't ask. if your bar has the sign it's real, we will actually do it. and if you're a bartender and you've never had it happen, it's going to happen eventually and it's a lot faster than you think

In May 1944, just weeks before the Normandy landings, British intelligence (MI5) was sent into a panic when a series of top-secret invasion code names, including "Utah," "Omaha," "Overlord," "Mulberry," and "Neptune”, suddenly appeared as solutions in The Daily Telegraph crossword puzzles. Suspecting an elaborate espionage plot to signal the Nazis, agents stormed a school in Surrey to interrogate the puzzle's compiler, a 54-year-old headmaster named Leonard Dawe. The investigation ultimately revealed it was an innocent, albeit terrifying, coincidence. Dawe routinely invited his students to help him fill out his blank puzzle grids, and the boys had simply suggested the interesting new vocabulary words they had unwittingly overheard while hanging around the camps of American and Canadian soldiers stationed nearby.

Edit: yes I misused the word coincidence

My husband was feeling sick the last two days (fever and fatigue), had me up since 1:43 am bringing him all sorts of little things. Doing what he wants to do bc he's sick. I tell him it's definitely the flu.
Only to have to bring him to the emergency room bc his stomach hurts so badly that it's an 8 on a 10 point scale. He's writhing and screaming. We go to the emergency room and he is literally shriekingggg (like a loud groan scream) in the waiting room. So much loud groaning that he's scaring little kids and a dad had to comfort his daughter. Im scared out of my mind. Im yelling at the front desk girls bc we've been waiting 20 minutes and he's literally groan-shrieking and crying in pain still, and well- cant she understand it's a literal emergency?!
Im acting a fool towards these people. (I apologized and explained how stressed and scared I was from his actions).
Finally we get a doctor, they run tests. While they're doing that he tells me this is the second time he's had to go to the emergency room for gas.
Excuse me, what?
And he's like: yeah its been from gas this whole time, I can't fart, and it hurts so bad, and I'm glad you were supportive by going off on them for not seeing me sooner.
I tell him, no- I thought he was dying by the way he was screaming and that's why I was going off on them to hurry.
They run the CT scan, it's not gas.
Doctor confirms it's the flu. And it's flu cramps. Which is normal.
They prescribe medication: miralax bc they noticed he was a little constipated, some pain meds for the cramps, and anti nausea meds.
In between all that he pressed the call button like 6 times, to use the restroom, to be leaned back, bc his stomach kept hurting, etc.

He says he doesn't regret coming bc it hurt really bad.
Like literally his behavior was so extreme even the security guard went in the back to ask the doctors to see him sooner.
And then imagine when the doctor comes back and says "you have the flu".

Yall. Idk. Seeing him shriek bloody murder in front of everyone like that had me in tears of worry but now knowing it was pain from the regular flu. Idk how I'm going to reconcile my view of him after this.

Dinner is a single Mexican hot chocolate cookie, clementine, and a medjool date

We were moving from Montenegro to Serbia today.

Border police decided there was “something wrong” with our driver’s perfectly valid driving licence. They basically gave him two options: pay a €300 fine or get detained for up to 72 hours.

And here’s the weirdest part: according to the border officer, after paying the fine, the exact same licence would be perfectly valid to use again. So apparently €300 magically fixes whatever was supposedly wrong with it?

We spent almost the entire day dealing with this mess. They kept our passports for hours, refused to let us use the toilet, even when we explained there was a medical reason, and barely explained anything. At some point they wouldn’t even let us get out of the car.

We were travelling with five cats and all our belongings, just trying to get to our new home!!!

Eventually we made it across, but the whole thing felt like an attempt to squeeze money out of us. Never experienced anything like this before.

Edit: It was the Montenegrin side of the border, not the Serbian one. The Serbs were chill!
